Dochartaigh Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 [quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1357756196' post='3073260'] 1. The conversation wasn't my idea, but as Triumvir, I was bound to participate. I followed Jason8's lead on the issue. Actually, I'm fairly certain that it was originally initiated mostly for OOC reasons--that is to say, a certain OOC incident happened that GOONS was warned well in advance that if it happen, there would be consequences. Disbanding was seen as a) a temporary measure, a retreat until we could regroup; b) a final FU to Sponge since no alliance = no terms = no billions in reps; c) a way to save our people from being slaughtered so that they could live to fight another day; d) some or all of the above; e) something else entirely. Each of us (Jason8, myself, WarriorConcept) brought our own ideas to the table in making a decision and had our own thoughts on why, how. To this day, I'm not even sure why I wasn't hunted down and my nation PZIed by Polaris. I have always attributed to the fact that I wasn't important so long as \m/ didn't exist. That only serves to reinforce my belief that the objective was to destroy the alliance, not seek a punishing peace after a long fight. What Sponge didn't count on was that killing an AA is far easier than killing the sense of community people feel for each other.[/quote] Or it could be possible that Polaris wanted to wreck \m/ and not disband it. Thus, Polaris wanted to fight \m/ far longer than a single week. The fact that after a single week of actual war, \m/ disbands, was a source of amusement to most Polars. Most had thought that \m/ could not actually handle a war in which it was not winning and y'all simply proved that to be true. I like ya Hal, but seriously, \m/'s disbandment lies solely with \m/. Not with terms given after a single week of war, not with Sponge or Polaris but simply and solely with \m/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, you wouldn't have communicated that to them, right? Funny too that you would mention how much more damage you were taking last time. Of course last time the people in your defensive slots were coordinating with AI to varying degrees and actually you know...trying to do damage. Have fun.
